Need help with scripting

[Legotrash]

No matter what I do I can't make GameDayspassed to work for me.The simplest of examples would be fine as long as it is working.Here's my last attempt:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

scn DayTesting

 

short Time

short doOnce

 

Begin Gamemode

If doOnce == 0

set Time to GameDaysPassed

set doOnce to 1

EndIf

 

If (GetGlobalValue GameDayspassed == (Time +1))

MessageBox "Boo!"

EndIf

 

End

 

 

Nevermind if the box will keep on popping,all I care is to make GameDaysPassed to work and I've tried everything I could find online.Btw,if it's done right,it should be working while sleeping or waiting,right?

Try this:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ScriptName DayTesting

Short CurrentDay

Begin GameMode

If <Trigger to set current day>
Set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed
EndIf

If <game day trigger check here>
If GameDaysPassed == ( CurrentDay + 1 )
	MessageBox "Boo"
ElseIf GameDaysPassed > ( CurrentDay + 1 ) 
	Set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed  ;If current day has passed, reset the trigger
EndIf
EndIf

Thank you very much Hickory but once again nothing.I can't understand why it doesn't work.I never had problems with getsecondspassed and they're pretty similar.

That's really odd. This is a *working* script with GameDaysPassed being used. It's from the Arch Mage's regenerating chest. See what you can figure out from that.

ScriptName MG19Script

;This script handles variable for quest MG19Alchemy
;control of item placement is handled by MG19ChestScript

short ingredvar
short dayspassed
short update

float hourtimer
float currentday
float daycheck

Begin Gamemode

if ( update > 0 )
	if ( currentday != GameDaysPassed )

		set dayspassed to ( dayspassed + 1 )
		set currentday to GameDaysPassed
		set daycheck to GameDaysPassed

	endif
endif

End

Begin Menumode

if ( update > 0 )
	if ( currentday != GameDaysPassed )

		set dayspassed to ( dayspassed + 1 )
		set currentday to GameDaysPassed

	endif
endif

End

I'm such a dummy...!

When my first attempts failed I decided to make an extra,testing script for this but I forgot to attach it to a quest. :facepalm:

 

 

Sorry for the trouble Hickory and thank you very much! I was about to quit the idea of using this function but seeing that it should be working made me insist. :thumbsup:

It's no trouble, and don't feel bad, either -- we ALL make mistakes... it's how we learn. :thumbsup:
